When this set of videos was put together, it was designed to be a total learning tool. Fresh floral product is used in all four tapes. The tapes were made using three cameras so that there were close ups of the designs being created. The Academy suggests that you watch the whole tape in its entirety. Then watch it again constructing the projects and designs you are viewing. This is one of the best, if not the best, total professional design instructional tape series on the market today. Every floral shop owner or starting designer should own this series. The Academy’s instructor, Don J. Pfannenstiel AIFD, AAF, PFCI, KAFA brings to you over 37 years of his teaching and designing experience. This series is truly a must have. In the world today, we must “ learn to never stop learning”
